I'm not too proud to admit that many of those pass my skill. The ones in my link I understand, and one of them I've even developed a philosophical argument to rebut (on the status of the infinite); but the Putnam prize is for those more devout than I in the religion of Pythagoras.

When I read too much of the news and start to think myself wise by comparison, it helps to look at something that puts me in my place.
